The Story of Avis - Elizabeth Stuart Phelps

[Luke]

The Story of Avis, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, 1877, United States, NOVEL

"...Although Avis declares, and her fiancé agrees, that she must not "resign my profession as an artist," the reality greets her with their first house: "It was not quite clear where the studio was to be, unless in the attic."...How modern is the "modern man" and how much do women's roles ever change?..."
